Over the years women have been underrepresented in Canada’s construction industry. In 2019, 13.3% of women were employed in the industry, both on and off job sites.1 We celebrate Women in Construction Week to acknowledge, educate and promote the role of women in our industry.
Rise of Women in the Construction Industry
Though women are outnumbered in the industry, the rise of women employed in construction has been slowly increasing. In 2019, 5,400 more women entered the construction industry compared to 2018.2 Women working directly on construction projects have increased by almost 1 percent and stand at 4.7% in 2019 compared to 3.8% in 2018.3
Women hold a stronger presence in administrative roles and other off-site positions, with 41% employed in off-site construction jobs in 2019. However, they remain underrepresented across the industry as a whole. In Canada, efforts are gaining momentum to increase the number of women in construction over the next decade. With support from the government, industry leaders, trade groups, and others, we can collectively work toward creating equal opportunities for women in the field.
Working at Bachly
We believe in creating equal opportunities within the industry. From administrative to on-site roles, we at Bachly are proud to have a roster of amazing women working on our team over the years. If you’re interested in joining our team, check out our careers page to see current openings.
